Abstract: The electrodeposition of magnesium in dimethylformamide has been studied by means of galvanostatic method The overpotential has been recorded during constant current pulses with a duration time that permits only a few monolayers deposition per pulse The experiments were carried out under conditions aimed at reducing contamination of the electrode surface. The kinetics coefficients of electrodeposition of Mg have been measured. The electron transfer step in the electrodeposition of Mg is the ratedetermining step has been confirmed in this book.

Key words: Magnesium, Electrodeposition, Non-aqueous system
